Default Extracting Red phosphorus Crystals from a match box.

As we all know there is phosphorus present in the striker on a matchbox.

I assume it would be an oxide as it reacts with air to combust. (Correct?)

To extract it I'd need to use something higher on the radioactive scale. (Correct?)

Any help?, tips? Point me in right direction guys!

Cheers.

We have a search function. Use it. Come back when you have a question that hasn't been covered literally thousands of times. Talk about beating a dead horse.

If you can't figure out how to obtain RP, you are doomed to failure before you even start.


If you are serious about this, this is a great place to learn, but we won't spoon feed you. The information is here and freely available, but we are not your tutors, or research monkeys, nor are we your mommy. If you can't handle a simple search you are risking not only your safety and freedom, but your very life by fucking around with toxic and volatile chemicals you do not understand.

I'm locking this. Like I said, this is a great place to learn, but please conduct yourself in a proper manner. Dumbass dope cooks who don't know the term reflux from their own asshole are frowned upon and laughed at here.

Either get serious, or give up.
